thats a good point , but then i can't answer against the evidence that suggests drug companies are less than evangelical angels either

I'm less than an evangelical angel but I'm not plotting to let millions of people die. Reading one of the links I found on google it appears that the American Cancer Society, a non-profit, voluntary organisation, has denounced the theory as quackery. What exactly would they have to gain from it? Do you honestly think that countless health professionals across the globe are all in on the same scam?

I sincerely hope this is a joke.

PS As idi said though there is obviously no reason not to try it. Merely pointing out the silliness of the "theory".

i didn;t know about a charity organisation denouncing the claims, i don't have shares in B17 i just find it very starnge that the FDA would ban a vitamin...... is it not possible that a charity based on a curable disease would be spending its funds on research that would bennefit certain people ?
i honestly don't know and have no evidence too back it up, i merely consider it a possibility, and my experiences with SSRI's has led me too have very little faith in drug companies.

Maybe you should ask a doctor?

PS Why is it that the drug companies get blamed? Couldn't it be the guys claiming that vitamin b17 cures cancer and who make money from selling the supplements who are the ones lying? The smaller conspiracies are slightly more credible than the gigantic ones after all.

TB hasn't been wiped out and I'd hardly say it was the "drug companies" who wiped out polio.

I don't really believe in conspiracy theories although you probably could say that drug companies are going to concentrate research on ailments which will make them more money. So diseases suffered largely by poor people might end up having less research proportionally than diseases suffered largely by rich people. But I'd imagine that's very low down on the list of why things are / aren't cured after technical issues, etc.
